Completely in the spirit of battlefield; wing walking was always a valid tactic in 1942. Hell, wing knifing (flying extremely low and clipping an enemy standing on the crest of a hill with your wing dealing collision damage) was a valid tactic.

Fuck realism, battlefield is about arcadey gameplay in a semi-realistic setting.

Completely against the spirit of Battlefield, and against the spirit of gaming.

Exploits are never a valid tactic. Wing walking in BF1942 wasn't a valid tactic and should have been patched out. Bunny hopping has never a valid tactic either. What is different about these and exploiting outside the level, which would typically get you kicked/banned?

It's not an exploit (like hiding in buildings, making you invulnerable), it's an unintended gameplay quirk (like skiing in Tribes) that takes skill to pull off and still leaves you vulnerable.
